Artificial Immune System for Economic Dispatch Problems Considering Power Generators having Valve-Point Loadings

Aiming at the power economic dispatch problem (PEDP) of generating units having valve-point loadings, this research investigates a hybrid artificial immune system and multiplier update technique (AIS-MUT). Artificial immune system (AIS) containing a migrating function can actively hunt for extremum values and effectively evaluate answers. Multiplier update technique (MUT) is employed to prevent the Lagrange function which deforms searching difficult. The proposed approach synthesizes AIS and MUT, and its merits are that it can automatically regulate the stochastically assignment penalty to a suitable numeric and need only a minisize population for the PEDP of considering generating plants having valve-point loadings. System simulated results show that this study is very proper than the former studies for considering an actual economic dispatching problem of power systems.
